Expect Lane Closures On Monday In Bemidji

Motorists can expect lane closures on U.S. Highway 2 in Bemidji beginning Monday, May 15 due to a summer long project to resurface the bypass.

The project begins with the construction of lane crossovers which allow for two-lane, head-to-head traffic through the construction zone. The project also includes two staged detours, with the first detour beginning toward the end of May, weather permitting.

The staged detours are required to allow crews to repair the two bridges on the northern portion of the bypass:

A separate resurfacing project on Highway 197/Bemidji Avenue, from Third Street NW to Seventh Street SE, is tentatively scheduled to begin July 10. That project will be done under traffic and motorists can expect lane closures and delays during peak travel times.
